In order that we might all raise the level of discourse and expand our language abilities, here is the daily post of “Word for the Day”.

Sang-froid

Noun

    Coolness and composure, especially in trying circumstances.

[French : sang, blood (from Old French, from Latin sanguis) + froid, cold (from Old French, from Vulgar Latin *frigidus, alteration of Latin frgidus; see frigid).]


Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the Word for the Day in a sentence.

The sentence must, in some way, relate to the news of the day.

The Review threads are linked for your edification. ;-)

Practice makes perfect.....post on....

No. It’s not a biography but rather a biopic. It’s specific to the passage of the 13th amdmt. Sally Fields as Mary Todd. We were kinda worried we might see her boob at one point! Tommy Lee Jones was quite good as Thaddeus Stevens. Xshub didn’t come with us but I wish he had bc he’s a history buff and I don’t have an historical framework to put it in.

She looks far better on the Boniva commercials! Speaking of looking good, I’m currently reading Greg guttfield s book, and he was born in 1964! He’s 48? He doesn’t remotely look that I thought he was early 40s at thievery latest!

I’d say it’s clean living but that doesn’t sound quite right with the Gut.

Did you have a good Thanksgiving? I think I may still be full.

It was that stint at Men’s Health that keeps him looking youthful.

It is getting cloudy and cooler-I hope it rains...

Some of Obama’s minions are
Starting to pay the price
For the lies about Bengazi
Beginning with Susan Rice

She has abandoned her sang-froid-
Her cool is just totally lost-
And blaming the intelligence guys
Is going to come at a cost

Messing with spooks isn’t smart
Especially when you plan to lie-
They might just call her bacon,
And laugh as they watch her fry...

My neighbor and I got to gossiping after dinner, so I was walking home through the woods just at dusk. It was warm for November, insects were chirping, and I was very tempted to sit down and stay awhile longer, but I know what critters come out to go hunting and scavenging at dusk, so I came right home instead.

Charming as the woods are in that bluish autumn/winter twilight, the ambiance would really be spoiled by a mountain lion or a pack of feral hogs...

Thank you!

When dealing with spooks, be careful what you wish for, because appearances are deceiving-they work by secret ways, after all...
